This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mac and cheese. The cheese sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the bacon and breadcrumb topping adds a nice crunch. I would definitely make this again.

Not a fan of this recipe. The sauce was too thick and the cheese was overpowering. I also didn't like the breadcrumb topping.
